FAQ

New versions of most Carlson Software desktop products are released on an annual basis (Civil Suite 2016, Takeoff 2016, Takeoff R8, etc) and Carlson field software every 1-2 years (SurvCE 4.0, SurvPC 5.0, etc). However, in between these major releases Carlson will post patches called “Builds” that fix bugs or errors that have been found since the initial release.

If you are having trouble or suspect you have found a bug, the first thing to do is make sure you have the latest “Build” installed for your version of software.

FAQ: Where do I find the build date or build number of my Carlson Software?

You can visit Carlson’s Downloads page to see if a newer Build is available; however, the easiest way to get to the correct page is to go to Help > About Carlson and then click the Registration button from the About Carlson screen to open the Add/Remove Serial Number window.
